Doesn't showing that you know how to ask accurate, intelligent,
logical, well-thought-out requests for information give an indication
of how you would conduct yourself when asking questions of the
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) that you will have to deal with if you
worked with them?
Unless you don't know how to compose accurate, intelligent, logical,
well-thought-out requests for information.
I've never been hired for what I know...I've always been hired for
what I can do...and asking questions that result in the right answer
is one of the things I can do.
